Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!

Seductive Food and Royal Service – I am surprised to read so many negative reviews of Skyline Bar & Grill. My fiancee arrived after making our reservation, and we were both seated almost immediately at a beautiful, corner window table. We ordered martinis, which were brought immediately; they were delicious and well-made. The menu is somewhat brief, but we truly loved our appetizers and the wonderful steaks that we ordered. We really enjoyed the very romantic evening view of Downtown Houston while talking and sampling appetizers, drinks, and steaks. The service was on cue, yet not intrusive. And we both found the restaurant, service and ambiance to be romantic and memorable.
Go somewhere else – this restaurant gets by only on its location. the food is almost non-existant, yes I realize Houston restaurant customers are accustomed to huge servings, but you should not go home from a $200 meal still hungry and feeling mistreated.

Nothing exceptional about it... – From the moment that we got to the hotel everything went wrong. We had dinner reservations for a birthday celebration for 13 guests at 9:00pm, due to the valet (who wouldn't take our car) we were late 20 minutes. By the time we got up to the restaurant the manager was very rude and pushy, didn't give us any time to actually sit down and look at the menu and was constantly rushing us to order. The service was terrible, the wait staff was very unprofessional. The waiter didn't go over the specials and didn't even take our order (the manager did) and forgot to bring us bread. The menu doesn't give you much selection and the quality of the food is very poor. When we got our food, it tasted like it was old (the fish was not fresh) and it was prepared very poorly. When it was time to get our tab, it took forever and since we had a large party the 18% gratuity was already included. I figured that since our service was so bad that maybe the food would make up for it, but that was not the case. The only good thing that this restaurant has to offer is the good view. Other than that, I would not recommend this restaurant.
Great view – I?m surprised by all the reviewers who went here on their anniversaries and/or special occasions. I?m not sure if you guys noticed but this place is in a convention hotel. Not exactly the most romantic of settings. Anyways, I?ve been here a lot. I work out in the gym downstairs, and sometimes I grab a drink after my workout. As I mentioned the gym is downstairs on the 23rd floor, but the work out pool is actually on the same floor as the restaurant. You can actually see people swimming from the bar. Seeing some old geezer doing laps is not the most romantic view from the bar. Haha. As far as the food goes; it?s mostly a seafood menu, which is unfortunate for me because I don?t eat seafood but the steaks I?ve had have been good. All in all the food is okay, nothing spectacular. But the view makes up for the so-so food.
Not a happy ending – As a repeated customer, I am very disappointed about the changes at Skyline. I knew Skyline as a fine dinning restaurant with well mannered guests and a wonderful view. Recently, my fiance and I had dinner at Skyline. Our dinner was wonderful and the service was great, but what ruined our evenning was how loud the bar area was getting. As we were trying to enjoy our dinner, these people at the bar were getting louder and becoming obnoxious and some were allowed to sit at the dinning area just to have cocktails. We were spending a lot of money that night to have it be ruined by a bunch of people that cannot control their liquor. What kind of manager allows this.....choosing these drunk people versus people who are spending money in full course dinners and expensive wines. Oh, and it doesn't end here.....to top the night, my fiance went into the mens restroom and it was filthy and it had a beer bottle stuck in the toilet.
not fine dinning at all! More like a sports bar – My wife and I went to celebrate our 12th anniversary at Skyline. We have heard so many wonderfull things about the view, food , martinis etc.. We had very good service and the food was excelent. However, we sat about four tables down from the bar and let me say that it ruined my entire evening. The noise level from drunk annoying people was incredibly loud. Not to mention later on the manager sat some people on the tables closer to us which was no different from the bar. Anyway we finished our ruined meal and left. The restaurant has no respect for dinning customers! I should have gone to a sports bar!
Not for the average couple – My boyfriend took me for a special dinner and we were both highly dissapointed. We are an average couple so it meant alot for us to come to such a nice place. We expected the best and got worse then any hole in the wall. We had reservation yet we had to wait even though i saw lots of tables available. We waited at the bar and i ordered a raspberry martini and the waiter had to ask how it was made. We were seated by a window which the view was amazing but it stopped there. We ordered our meals and was dissapointed to see less then 1/4 of the size food of an average meal for 4 times the amount of money. We saw our waiter maybe 2 times once to order and once to bring our food. No refills, no seeing if everything is ok. NOTHING! Yet we were forced to pay a high gratuity. I could understand if we had a large group but we like to determine tip based on service and he was not worth what we paid! we both left hungry and very unsatisfied. We NEVER plan on visting again.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!! – We stopped by here for drinks and appetizers. The view was phenominal, the drinks were great and we had a small appetizer. Haven't eaten a full meal there yet, but it is so romantic we just like to stop and have drinks now and then. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK, :)

I am from Northern Ireland, born and raised.
On the playground was where I spent most of my days.
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool,
And all shooting rubber bullets outside of the school,
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good,
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood,
I got in one little fight with the IRA,
Mam said 'You're moving with your auntie and Uncle in Coleraine'

I was watching the Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith match from 1992 at Wembley Stadium for the first time in ages, and was compelled to star this thread. The pop Bulldog gets as soon as his music hits, is deafening. And the response doesn't let up. It actually raises in volume as soon as he comes out from the curtain and doesn't stop until the match is underway. Just got me thinking about how class Smith was, and how important he was to the appeal that WWF had in this country. He pretty much sold out the biggest house WWF has ever put on. Bret Hart has a different take on it in his book, but there's no way this crowd wasn't 100% behind the Bulldog in "Ma' Home Toon" of London.
I remember watching this on Sky when I was a kid. It was one of the things that really hooked me on wrestling, because it came across like such a massive occasion. It was a sunny day in Britain, at Wembley and the wrestling was on. What more could you want? As the below image shows, he had a Bulldog in real life as well, so the man even lived the gimmick.
As we all know, he started off with his cousin, Dynamite Kid in the 80s gaining a reputation around the globe as a top wrestler in the best tag team in the land. But I was to young to see them, really. It was Smiths big WWF run that got me hooked on him.
There was a few moments, which made him look like a massive star in the 90s. The night he won the Samovar Trophy at the Royal Albert Hall in a Battle Royal couldn't have made him look any better. He eliminated Typhoon and The Mountie on his own at the end, and ended the night celebrating with the fans going mental after our pal Andre The Giant walked in and made the save.
And if your that over, you get your gimmicks to flog. I'm sure we all had the British Bulldog Hasbro as a kid. He was a good shape to knock the likes of The Undertaker or Kamala or Shredder about. You could easily flick his arm up into a power slam position and do all his trademark moves.
Just to Illustrate how great a bloke he was, look at how he's trying to save the Boss Man from certain elimination. You could always count on the Bulldog to save you, if you were a baby face in a Rumble match.
He had a run in WCW, where WCW tried to exploit his popularity in the UK. Smith was a regular partner of WCW's big star at the time Sting, and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Sid Vicious and Big Van Vader in WCW's headline positions. Things looked to be going well for him there.
SummerSlam 94 was class, because Bret wrestled Owen Hart in that great cage match. What was brilliant was, Todd Pettingill announced that all (ALL) the Hart Family would be at ringside. This got me thinking that Bulldog had to be there. After all, wrestling was real in 1994 (it was real, I swear. Only later was it fake), The British Bulldog would have to have been there for moral support for his bird, Diana. And he was there. Not only that, but while Bulldog was in the front row, dressed in a very 1990s type outfit, Jim Neidhart clotheslined the Bulldog (and his wife also took a bump to steal the spot) and the Bulldog got involved in a full on brawl. It was a cracking angle. I recommend it to anyone. The Harts looked like they wanted to rip Owen and Anvil's dead off, as they swatted away the brothers. Only Davey Boy was man enough to break through the Anvil and The Rockets assault. He looked great as well.
He got onto the phone to President Monsoon that very night demanding a contract, which was granted. I dont know why he decided to use the phone, considering he was only a few inches away from him at the time:
After an uneventful first few months, he was teamed with Lex Luger to form the Allied Powers. They are seen as paint dryingly rotten by some today, but I thought they were class. Any team who has matching outfits and ring jackets as good as they had, deserve praise from anyone. They didn't last long, and had a match with the Harris Brothers so boring, you were glad when King Kong Bundy's music hit at WrestleMania XI.
A heel turn followed and it was back to wrestling his brother in law again. He wrestled his brother in law Bret in 1995, in a match better than the SummerSlam match. Bulldog had never looked more athletic or sharper. Its great to watch, looking back, just to see how much he'd slimmed down and got himself into a shape where he could be good as he could be. He never did prize the belt away from Bret, as much as he looks like he's desperate to here. He never won the belt from anyone actually, which I always thought was a shame. He looked like he could have taken it from Diesel after his heel turn and much needed haircut in the Summer of 95:
1996 was spent teaming with his brother-in-law, Owen Hart and even challenging Shawn Michaels for the WWF belt. Following his title matches with HBK, his contract ran out, and an angle was setup on Nitro for his debut, where he was going to be the 5th member of the nWo, but changed his mind at the last minute. His team with Owen was brilliant. Its pretty much common knowledge that they more or less saved the tag division in 1996. They were the best team in the company by a country mile. My favourite moment from the team was when they were supposed to be going through a bit of tension. Owen Hart 'won' another Slammy and decided to taunt Bulldog about it. When the camera went on the Bulldog, he was beeming at his friends interview. He couldnt keep his laugh in. Mick Foley mentions it in his book as well, as being a touching moment. Just look at him:
1997 was a great year for him, in the ring. He won the European belt in Germany, infront of a crowd so hot, you have to think there was more than a few Brits making the way over. It was like 1992 again. Owen and Davey had a brilliant match and the crowd couldnt stop cheering. He them made up with his brother-in-laws Bret and Owen and formed the Hart Foundation. This was the last year he was close to being the performer he was. Injuries and other things took over, and his last ever great match came against Shawn Michaels in Birmingham, where the crowd bottled the ring when Bulldog "passed out from the pain". They were going to have a rematch but neither man was on the roster by 1998.
He left WWF, through loyality to Bret (which cost Bulldog $100,000 to leave) and joined up with WCW. He was shit, the promotion only signed him to make Hart happy. There was about 80 members of the roster. He got lost and took advantage the partying the WCW heads didn't mind in 1998.
He fucked his back on the Warriors trapped door and it was big news in this country when he was in hospital and couldnt walk for months. All the papers reported it. Still, WWF resigned him anyway, but he was finished when he came back. He could hardly move and he wore jeans and had shit music. The only good thing about it was me and my mate still say in a Lancashire accent "I WANT MY TITLE SHOT, NUUU".
For me, Smith was the biggest star thats ever came out of this country, and the best all rounder. For every Johnny Saint match or every Dynamite Kid classic, you can always point to 80,000 people screeming their head off as he lifts the Intercontinental title. People say Scott Hall was a waste of talent, but if Davey Boy hadnt been so into the drug scene which lead to numerous firings and injuries, he could have done anything. At his best, he had pace, athleticism, power, technique, the lot. Such a waste. His legacy lives on in his son, who wears a cowboy hat for some reason. He's shite though.
Now speak about him.
I'll waffle about this a bit because I actually have some views on this that sort of relate to the OP and it wasn't long ago that I watched it all back. I've come to believe a massive reason WWF in 2000 was so awesome was because Steve Austin wasn't there. I'm not saying he wasn't still a huge draw, but almost from the instant he left to the moment he came back the entire roster benefitted. Rock was obviously more than ready to be the standalone top face, but it was more the heels and midcard that really got to strut their stuff.
Austin as a character in 99 and upon his return devoured fucking hours and hours and hours of promo and segment time mainly due to the fact that for the most part, he had warranted it. However, the second he left, a bunch of heels would spend a year avoiding 16 Stunners a night, and the whole show was actually allowed to be "fun" again. Austin's character pretty much meant that if you weren't a bad ass babyface, you were weak, and he was going to stun you and the crowd didn't care. I think of Too Cool as an example of this. Put them in a 6 man with Austin in 99, and he would have stunned them and drank beer to celebrate the team victory. Put them with The Rock in 00 and they would have looked as though they belonged in the top match and The Rock would have nodded small approval to them as well.
Similarly, midcarders (heels especially) were allowed to breathe a bit. E&C doing the goofy shit in 99? Stunnered all the way back to The Brood for sure. This pattern actually occurs in a literal sense in 2000, as Austin goes on the hunt for his attacker. Yes there's a context to it, but there's a definite return to the old ways upon his return, and noticably less people got a window to shine in his presence.
Ultimately, as great as he was, by late 99, I think his character was so inflexible compared to the rest of the roster around him, that some respite from having to book him gave the company a chance get creative with so many others, and thus 2000 was as good as it was. Most people love large parts of Austin's 2001 heel work because he deviated from the norm, but obviously him and the company panicked about a downswing in business (and I'd wager - his t-shirt sales) and bottled that in November. The less said about his last wrestling days from then on, the better.
Luckily, The Rock's so fucking great that none of that was relevant to him. The Rock deserves even more credit for getting over, in my opinion. Randy Savage and Randy Orton respectively had to get over as top faces at the same time as the industry megastar of the time. It's clear neither were able to match Hogan or Cena, but Rocky easily got to Austin's level (and often beyond) and never left. Just because the business was hot, it doesn't mean there would be room at the top for two huge megafaces, but The Rock made it so. He should get more credit for that.

I Think I've Caught The Gay
I wake up in the morning, and jump into the shower
I have a wife next to me, but for some reason I cannot plough her
Instead I go to the kitchen, log onto Spankwire all randy
Skip past the hardcore bukkake, and go straight to the trannys
I frantically pull down my pants, and pull the stomach out of myself
To the sight of a dude named Carmen, tugging at her balls and breasts
A gaping hole, I'm on a roll, my calves begin to tense
I blow my muck, I'm out of luck, my sexuality's on the fence
I make my wife some breakfast, and bring it to her in bed
I'm having a moment of guilt, I should have doused it on her chest instead
I get myself ready for work, and prepare myself for the day,
Because I then use two face creams, I reckon I've caught the gay
True story

Apologies guys, this is for an audience of one really.
Hey, June....
Why do people think so negatively?
My gut reaction was to simply put "I don't like you because you're the kind of guy that if someone didn't like you, you'd take them for a walk in the park and ask them why." But to be quite frank, I'm not as funny as I'd like to think, so here goes with the serious answer.
I might be able to help you out here, if you can lower yourself to my level. Precisely what my level is of course in terms of education, life experience and travel, I shan't bore you with right now, because it's irrelevant. What may have started off with a few comments about that photo of you has, it seems, spiralled out of control. There is either a deeply-rooted personal loathing towards you radiating out of one or two other posters, or at the very least you perceive that there is.
I'm the opposite, I've read Plato, and bits and bobs of other philosophy, and a fuck load of Utopias, but I don't feel the need to mention I've read them, I just take in what I see in the world and offer opinions based on that.
So... why mention it now? I have no wish to ignite a personal war of words with you myself, but the oxymoronic nature of this sentence is a very easy addition to the catalogue of evidence the "you're a cunt" troop seem to have stockpiled against you. It's got nothing to do with your actual opinions, it's more to do with the perception of what kind of person you are, and here we have what can easily be interpreted as (unconsciously) reinforcing the "I'm smarter/more learned than you lot" stereotype which you have been - fairly or unfairly - labelled with. You will be smarter and more learned than many posters are or were at your age ; there will also be many where this is not true. But you have an unailing ability to portray the self-belief that you are better than the rest of us. This also frequently manifests itself in an apparent belief that your opinion/way of doing something is RIGHT and the rest of us are WRONG. This of course may not be true, but it's perceived to be true by the "you're a cunt" troop.
There is no call for personal attacks; they reveal merely the hatred, bitterness and insecurities only natural in some people who spend their lives in the uncool hobby of following wrestling and browsing forums.
Skip to....
if/when I become a a rich, disillusioned 9-5 accountant who has foregone all his principles, I'll be at least gleeful that bullies like yourselves will life and die with nothing more than hatred and bitterness, because your minds were constantly polluted with negative thoughts.
... which, in turn, makes you come off as bitter, yeah?
Don't get me wrong, you're an intelligent guy - you know this, that's a huge part of the problem. Personally, you lost me in the infidelity thread, suggesting you didn't see any moral objection to being the third party when a partner cheats on another. The problem when it comes to that kind of thing is you can certainly argue a point to an opinion but when it comes to morals and ethics, you are dealing with people's beliefs which are very difficult if not nigh on impossible to change or overcome. Unfortunately that particular moral belief also firmly fits into associating with the kind of personality traits that a lot of the lads on here seem to categorize as "cunt."
While we are on the subject of "cunt..."
And to continue, we all like sticking our dicks in things, it's merely convention that makes us categorise between different orifices.
Do you not think you have overthought this somewhat? It's not convention that dictates I like sticking my dick (so to speak) in a woman and that I have no desire to do it with a man, it's a combination of physiological responses that make me desire and greatly enjoy the former, and have no desire to engage in the latter.
Everybody is simply 'sexual', rather than all this 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' shit, and almost everybody who rushes to say "I'm 100% straight" is in fact only 100% insecure about the fact that even a small part of them is attracted to other men.
Except... this isn't really true, is it? I don't care for certain labels, having been mis-labelled at various points in my uni days as a goth, emo, headbanger and gay, despite missing out rather important traits/tastes/opinions consistent with those that would self-label themselves as any of those things - such as the aforementioned sticking my dick in a man - but I will HAPPILY label myself as heterosexual, and am 100% secure that I have no, umm, insecurity as you suggest.
I imagine at this point you are dying to question my emotional intelligence, but fret not. While I will no doubt be cyber-lamped by some of the "lads" around here for this admission, there was a time when I was living with a mate that at times I found myself questioning whether I would entertain a relationship with him. We had a lot in common, I enjoyed his company to the point where I could happily spend all day with him and not miss the company of others, even to the point where we routinely talked about our hopes and dreams, shared our worst fears and darkest secrets and talked all manner of cobblers about the meaning of life. I could have loved him, easily. There was only one thing missing.
I wasn't sexually attracted to him, not even slightly. In simplest terms, I didn't want to put my dick in him. There were plenty of times we both comforted each other through emotional fragility - rejection, financial worries, rejection, bereavement - and there were plenty of times where there was a degree of physicality or taking clothes off in front of each other - going to the gym, staging pretend WWF matches with the other lads - where I firmly believe any latency would have bloomed into full-on attraction to him, but it never did.
After a long period of confusion, the episode lead me to realize that while I considered the option that I could be bi - possibly subconsciously even wanted to be since it seemed so popular and "fashionable" (LOL) or even that I didn't want to restrict finding that ONE other person to one gender (a la Alyssa Jones) - in truth I had never nor could ever be attracted to men. Much like Holden McNeil before me, I guess I like tits too much.
But yeah, referring to anyone else's lifestyle choice as "all this 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' shit" could again be filed into the weighty dossier of "possible cunt" by those that are that way inclined.
Which brings me, somewhat aptly, to ;
Disagree with my opinions, but those who use the words 'moron', 'twat', 'cunt', 'idiot', 'wanker' with such frequency are only demeaning themselves rather than the person they're hoping to humiliate.
I do find it strange that someone as intelligent as yourself again falls into the trap of portraying yourself (possibly unconsciously) as above it all. It's human nature to develop disdain towards people where either their habits, personality or moral code revile you, and unfortunately on the web most of us potray our own personalities turned up to eleven, much like pro wrestlers do on't telly, and while we might not call someone a cunt in real life, or indeed punch them square in the face, as tempting as it sometimes is, because they revile you so much, it becomes necessary sometimes to call someone a cunt in order to try and bring an end to that which causes such distress. If anything, it's a confused plea to stop.
What I have attempted in the preceeding paragraphs is somewhat of a more dignified plea - my quotes from yourself are some of the examples I have plucked out which I feel illustrate your belief (or projected belief) that you are better than the rest of us. If you genuinely believe yourself to be a victim of cyber-bullying and actively seek to reduce it... no, I don't believe I can offer you advice as such, not that I pretend you would take it, but I hope I might have explained a little as to how you appear to have become.... reviled.
I'm not entirely sure you actually are that bothered....
I wrote this as a chain-of-though reply to bring closure on the 'offensive, pretentious twat' gimmick I have so enjoyed playing.
... in which case, you may wish to consider, as a final thought, that a lot of the "you're a cunt" troop savage you so because they enjoy playing up to your gimmick, and the perceived trauma it causes. Which in turn, may cease, if you have indeed been stringing us all along.
Wherever your story leads from here, best of luck in your future endeavours, Flaming June.
... you're a cunt.

Raid. I know people will scoff at him putting so much into it to the point where he may have made himself out to look like a bigger antagonist than June, but it's a deconstruction the likes of which Supremo (and myself once upon a time) would dole out while still keeping things interesting.
Ian's Bulldog post is a thing of beauty though. Please do one on Triple H.

I really enjoyed Ian's Bulldog breakdown and was set to vote for that one until I got to his "Bound For Gory" post, and I couldn't resist. It summarised the deviancy in that thread perfectly in a two-minute read, captured those cringeworthy moments that had slipped from memory (MrK shagged his cousin following their Grandad's funeral!) and has the odd comic moment too, such as KrAzY's serious contribution being that he didn't wash up once. A great read from those fantastic opening words onward.

They were taken from the running "Post of the Year" thread; these posts got the most nominations over the course of the year.

Someone (brownie I think) went through that massive thread and picked out the most nominated.
Cracking set posts too, hard to decide.

Ian's Bulldog thread by a mile. In fact, all of the threads Ian did in that particular style were brilliant, '' Did they get their shit on the market?'' was a superb feature of it too.
Some people pimp Virgil as being underrated, but he certainly didnt prove that here, selling stomps to his back like he was doing pushups over a puddle of piss trying not to get wet.

With Apple's stock being hammered daily and shareholders increasingly pointing at the company's huge war chest, CEO Tim Cook hinted on Wednesday he was "seriously considering" ways to return some of the company's cash hoard.
At a shareholder meeting in its Cupertino headquarters, Apple put forth a raft of relatively minor governance proposals. However, the iPhone maker sidestepped hints of a new strategy to parcel out more of its sizable money pile.
Cook renewed his criticism of shareholder activist's David Einhorn's lawsuit against the company as a "silly sideshow". The controversy has put added pressure on a stock that has fallen sharply in the last several months, shaving billions off Apple's market share, and making investors more nervous about its ability to keep up with fierce competition from competitors Google and Samsung.
Cook acknowledged as much on Wednesday, as he fielded questions from shareholders.
"I don't like it either," Cook said about the stock's tumble from an all-time high hit last fall. He added the company was focused on the long term, and that 2012 had been "an incredible year of innovation" at Apple.
Apple is currently sitting on more than $137 billion in net cash, with $23 billion of operating money collected in the last quarter alone. Einhorn — who a few weeks ago likened Apple's cash management to his frugal grandmother's — is vigorously pressing the iPhone maker to deploy some of that cash in the form of a special dividend or preferred stock.
Still, Cook's words did little to boost Apple's battered stock. In a measure of investors' disappointment that the company failed to offer any new incentives, Apple's shares drifted lower in afternoon trading, falling by about one percent to $444.
"The cash hoard is purely the spoils of past victory. The positive cash flow is a measure of how competitive their products are and how much you're willing to pay for the design," said Kevin Landis, co-founder and CIO of Firsthand Funds, also an Apple shareholder. "Everybody agrees it's a high-quality problem they have."
(Read more: Apple's Cook Calls Einhorn Lawsuit 'Silly Sideshow', Says Company's Not Tight-Fisted)
After Apple tried to advance a new shareholder proxy filing, Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital, filed suit against the iPhone maker, saying the proposal could eliminate the option of preferred stock. Last week, a federal judge ruled in Einhorn's favor.
As a result, shareholders were not able to vote on Apple's proposal No. 2, which the company was originally planned to bring up for a vote at Wednesday's shareholder meeting.
When asked about whether he still believed Einhorn's lawsuit was silly, Cook responded: "I absolutely do."
(Read more: Court Rules in Favor of Einhorn in Apple Dispute)
The tech giant also voted to approve new governance proposals on Wednesday, including approving its slate of directors, its accounting firm, and a plan giving shareholders more say on executive pay. Two proposals over executive stock and human rights failed to pass.
Apple shares have fallen more than 30 percent since their peak above $700 last September. What's Apple stock doing now? Click here for the latest quote.

Beyond domestic problems, Senator Moss has manifested a continuinG
interest in the difficult situation which now confronts us abroad. He is
lvidely tra-reled, as any Senator must i:c if he is going to discharge his
responsibilities in these times. In h:..s yeo:rs in the Senate, his views ha.ve
co~e to focus on an abhorrance of the waste of war, and on a hostility to the
ex-::esses -,rhich are sometimes COTrilllitted in the name of defense- -as in tb.e sheep-tragedy
here and, recently, as reveo~cd in the scandals in the service clt~s

Rated 5 out of 5 by JBKIM4 Great Family Hotel We have two teenage daughters and this hotel worked great for us! Directly across the street from a great beach and a fabulous restaurant onsite.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WL55 Excellent place for beach This is an excellent hotel with all you need to have a great time on the beach at Key West, (not many have access to large beachfront).

Only problem we had was sofa bed was like sleeping on springs, but when we notified desk they brought a new mattress! The staff was friendly, and took care of all your needs. The transportation staff worked hard to get you where you needed to go on time. If shuttle filled up they radioed to get another one there. Beach across the street, and no worries about a cruise ship blocking your views. Enjoyed our stay. 2014/03/19

Plant and be counted!
As Marylanders, we take pride in our State and our natural world. We understand the value of stewardship and the importance of a sustainable future, and are committed to working together to create a smarter, greener State.
Planting trees is one way that everyone can contribute to our shared vision. Trees provide ecological, economic and quality of life benefits protecting air and water quality, reducing energy costs, increasing property values and beautifying neighborhoods and highways.
We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Our fellow citizens rose to the challenge, exceeding the three-year statewide goal of planting and registering 100,000 trees by 2013. Marking another great milestone, in May 2011 I joined Maryland inmates Forest Brigade in planting our one millionth tree on public lands.
I encourage every citizen to take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Marylands participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.
Thank you for visiting our website and for doing your part to keep Maryland Smart, Green & Growing.
Governor Martin O'Malley

Carpet Cleaning
Experts recommend that your carpet should be professionally cleaned once every 12 to 18 months, even if you vacuum regularly. Getting your carpets cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner extends the life of the carpeting and improves air quality in your home by reducing allergies and germs.
Dry extraction is one method of carpet cleaning that is less of a "dry" procedure, and more of a "moisture-controlled" procedure. It provides just the right amount of cleanser to your carpet to clean it, but then absorbs the dirt leaving the carpet dry for vacuuming and immediate use.
Many professional carpet cleaning companies provide a Power Shampoo System using specially formulated professional grade cleansers and then a hot water extraction afterwards.
Carpet pretreatment: To achieve better results, you can spray a cleanser on your carpet a few minutes before it's professionally cleaning. The cleansers help dissolve grease and oils so that the final cleaning extracts even more dirt. For some firms this is standard procedure; others may charge extra by the square foot or room. Be sure to ask.
Soil retardants: Most carpets are now factory-treated with a coating that helps the carpet fibers shed water and spills. The key is cleaning up the spills quickly. Once a carpet is five years old or so, you may need to have it retreated, at least in the high traffic areas.

bold 9700 or bold 9780
Hey so I'm kinda new here and I've been trying to get an extra phone as a back up to my bold 9900. I'm stuck between the bold 9700 and 9780. I'm working for my dad in construction a few days a week and I don't want to ruin my 9900 so I thought of getting a back up for those days I work with my dad. But I don't know which would be better. I have att so if I were to get a 9780 I would need to get one compatible with the network so I can use 3G since I tend to do a bit of browsing and send emails for my dad while I'm working with. So if yall can help me out on which one to get it would great. Thanks.

9780 has double the application storage of a 9700, both are solid devices with sturdy construction. If you're looking for a cheaper phone use the 9700, although you can sometimes find the 9780 for cheap.Device(s):

The 9780 was never offered on ATT, so chances are you will not get 3G. If 3G is a necessity, then go with the 9700.Thanked by:

better camera on the 9780 and more ram (256 vs 512) . other than that they're the same.

I'd get 9780, as 256 ram is very low for installed apps, and not to mention 9700 is very old now, still a solid phone, but as mentioned, 9780 is an upgrade in more ram, slightly better camera, and a minor cosmetic changed (no chrome below and around the edges, just all pure black and stylish.)
If I had to choose, I'd choose 9780 BUT as I just said, both are solid devices for being a phone that works as a phone, and the battery lasts couple days - both models have a good reputation for lasting very long - assuming you're not watching videos or listening to a lot of audio/music.First Berry:

With 9700, you can get an upgrade to OS 6, which makes browsing substantially better than what came before. It also adds universal search. The issue is that OS 6 basically sucks out all of the available space on the 9700 leaving you with little room for any apps. So 9780 probably a better choice.------------------------------------

Calling all parents and kids!
- 20 September 2012 15:09
- Posted by Nicola McCarthy
This coming fixture against Arsenal on 23 September, we are planning to celebrate the relationship between parents taking their children to the game!
'Parents & Kids' will have the opportunity to work together in City Square to accumulate points in a range of football activities with the overall winner receiving a pair of complimentary tickets for an upcoming MCFC home game.
Possible activities may include:
- Dribbling Time Trial (Pointts scored for speed of dribble)
- Target Shot (Point scored for each successful shot through the target)
- GK Inflatable (Pointt for each save made)
So, make sure you visit CITC before the game to get involved and compete against other parents and their kids!
Also, for those parents who still fancy themselves as skillful as Silva, we are offering them a chance to put their skills to the test and play against their son/daughter in a 5-a-side game at the Manchester Tennis & Football Centre in the grounds of the stadium leading up to kick off.
Children must be between the ages of 12-14 to take part and places are limited.
All parents will be put into one team and will face up against the young wannabes.
The game will last for 30mins and there are two kick-off times at 1.15pm and 3pm.

NICE accreditation - raising the standard of guidance production
Professor David Haslam, Chair of NICE's Accreditation Advisory Committee, explains how the NICE Accreditation Programme will play a central role in the development of quality standards, sets out his vision for the future, and invites guidance producers to join him in his quest to help the UK become the world leader in guidance production.
"Like all clinicians I want to know that guidelines are as good as they can be and this is why I became involved in the NICE Accreditation Programme. The programme has a straightforward premise. It sets out to raise the standard of guideline production using a simple idea - that by evaluating the processes used in the development of guidance we can ensure consistency in quality."
NICE accreditation and quality standards
"The Government's health and social care legislation is clear that the primary purpose of the NHS is to improve the outcomes of healthcare for all. It also states that progress on outcomes will be supported by quality standards, developed for the NHS Commissioning Board by NICE. NICE quality standards provide patients, carers and the public, health and social care professionals, commissioners and service providers with definitions of high-quality health and social care.
"NICE quality standards will be derived from NICE guidance and other guidance accredited by the NICE Accreditation Programme. This new name for the NHS Evidence Accreditation Scheme, which launched in 2009, reflects the new, broadening role of the programme. Although NICE quality standards are not mandatory, their role is important and the Government is clear that, together with essential regulatory standards, quality standards will provide the national consistency that patients expect from the NHS.
"Accreditation really matters: For the guidance producer it provides a real opportunity to have a positive impact on the health of the population. For the health care professional it provides the confidence that they have access to the best available support tools they need to help them deliver excellent patient care."
How accreditation works
"To achieve accreditation, guidance producers are assessed on a case by case basis, against criteria in six domains, based on the internationally recognised AGREE II instrument for robust guidance. Guidance producers must clearly demonstrate that they are implementing rigorous processes to develop guidance - for example clear use of language in guidance, inclusive stakeholder involvement and processes for external peer review. Those organisations whose processes meet these high standards are recommended for accreditation by the NICE Accreditation Advisory Committee.
"Accredited organisations can display the Accreditation Mark on guidance produced to the approved process - this 'seal of approval' gives health and social care staff confidence that the information has been developed to a quality process and reassurance that it will help them deliver the highest standards of patient care.
"In three years over 40 guidance producers have applied for accreditation. This is an excellent start. However, we can do much more in the drive to raise the standard of guidance production. Therefore, I would urge those who have yet to take part to take that step.
"For those guidance producers who may have some reservations about participating, it is important to understand that the NICE Accreditation Programme is a positive process. It is not about success or failure. It is about guidance producers taking the opportunity to test their processes to ensure that their guidance is as best as it possibly could be. That is what we are all in the field of evidence based medicine for - to continually strive for excellence, both in the guidance we produce and the quality of care this guidance encourages.
"Accreditation is not designed or intended to be an onerous procedure. Instead, it is a valuable process to help discover where improvements can be made, with impartial advice from an independent expert committee.
"Organisations who have taken part in the programme - whether they have achieved accreditation or not - have found it a positive experience because the feedback they received was extremely valuable.
"The British Thoracic Society and British Transplantation Society were among the first organisations to put themselves forward for accreditation. Although, understandably, they were disappointed to not achieve accreditation the first time round, they positively embraced the tenet of the programme, took our feedback on board, and put themselves forward again to be considered by the programme. I was delighted to inform both societies recently that they have now achieved accreditation. Both societies deserve real credit for the way in which they responded to their initial disappointment and for their determination to strengthen their processes for the benefits of patients.
"I hope their approach is followed by others - from organisations who did not achieve accreditation to those who have yet to participate in the accreditation programme. I know that all guidance producers have the same will to see the best care possible."
A future vision
"I have immense pride in the progress we have made to date, as evidenced by our new role in the development of quality standards and the interest we have received from guidance producers around the world. The NICE Accreditation Programme has already developed some international recognition and is currently being applied to international guidance producers.
"However, it is the future potential for how this programme could continue to grow which is really exciting. My vision is for this to be a continuous development programme for all guidance producers which sets the standard for the rest of the world to follow. We have a real opportunity to make the UK the world leader in guidance production. For this vision to be realised, we need the guidance community to continue embracing the programme. In this way, we can make a real difference to patient care. That is what we all want to achieve."

LINCOLN — Having finished his press conference after a rough week in his professional career and the "worst performance" of the year from a defense he oversees, Nebraska coach Bo Pelini lingered near a black punching bag that hung from the ceiling of NU's weight room.
He put both hands to his waist and watched quarterback Tommy Armstrong offer his opening comments after his first career start and the Huskers' tension-breaking 59-20 win over South Dakota State.
"Pretty much a fun experience," Armstrong said.
It must have been music to Pelini's ears in the wake of an ugly loss to UCLA last weekend and Deadspin releasing a two-year-old, private, profane rant expressing his frustration with media and fans. Husker football teetered a bit on the brink of chaos last week. And through a quarter Saturday, so did a defense seemingly lost on how to stop the Jackrabbits.
Armstrong, fellow quarterback Ron Kellogg and the rest of the Huskers' offense answered with an unwavering balance.
Of the 645 yards NU gained in front of 90,614 at Memorial Stadium, 335 were on the ground. Armstrong and Kellogg combined for 305 passing yards and Ryker Fyfe added 5 while spelling an injured Taylor Martinez, who wore a headset, T-shirt and shorts. It's the first time in school history Nebraska cleared the 300-yard hurdle in both categories in the same game, and it's the most yards gained in the Pelini era.
Ten ballcarriers. Eleven pass-catchers. Seven Huskers had a hand in scoring touchdowns. It was an FCS feast for the offense as the Blackshirts stubbed their toes, giving up 465 yards and 25 first downs.
"On the offensive side of the ball, we had an attack mentality," Pelini said, "which is kind of the opposite as what we played defensively."
Exhibit A: The first quarter. Nebraska I-back Ameer Abdullah ripped off 24 yards on the game's first play. Two plays later, Armstrong — the first starting quarterback other than Martinez since November 2010 — hit Abdullah on a wheel route for a 28-yard gain. Imani Cross scored on the next play. Red balloons. Begin the boat race.
SDSU (3-1) answered with ease. Four plays, 75 yards, with FCS All-America running back Zach Zenner scoring a 40-yard touchdown.
Armstrong led a 66-yard touchdown drive, capped by another Cross touchdown. The Jackrabbits countered with a 71-yard touchdown drive. Zenner again. He had 123 yards rushing in the first quarter and 202 for the game. SDSU led 17-14 after 15 minutes.
On the sideline, Pelini held more than one fiery chat. He pulled several players early in the game, including freshman linebackers Nathan Gerry and Josh Banderas. After it, he hadn't cooled down much.
"To start that football game, we had missed assignment after missed assignment," Pelini said. "I know we're young and, trust me, there were some young guys who made those mistakes. But that can't be our excuse."
"We're not focused enough," said defensive end Randy Gregory, who had a 33-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second half. "We didn't come out in the first half with a sense of urgency and it showed. It's kind of the same way we've been coming out in the second half the last few games. And I don't know how to fix it. I don't know what to say to the guys. I don't think anybody knows what to say."
Unlike the week before, the offense had an answer against a Jackrabbit defense considerably less athletic and complex than UCLA's.
Kellogg, a former walk-on from Omaha Westside, led NU's third touchdown drive. Armstrong led the fourth, hitting sophomore walk-on Sam Burtch from Elmwood-Murdock for a pretty 16-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone. After Stanley Jean-Baptiste intercepted SDSU quarterback Austin Sumner, Kellogg fired a 23-yard touchdown to Utica walk-on Tyler Wullenwaber. NU (3-1) led 38-17 at halftime.
"I don't know how many games you can win when you don't stop a team," said Jackrabbit coach John Stiegelmeier, who shared a long postgame handshake with Pelini.
Nebraska's offense looked more efficient with two backup quarterbacks than it had with Martinez through three games. Part of that was due to the opponent — statistically, SDSU was a middle-of-the-pack FCS defense — but offensive coordinator Tim Beck said a narrowed practice focus helped, too. Beck installed fewer plays for the game plan, and players practiced those plays more often. The Husker running game, which averaged 6.6 yards per carry, seemed far smoother as a result.
Columnist Tom Shatel offers his thoughts coming out of the Nebraska-South Dakota State game.

Columnist Tom Shatel offers his thoughts coming out of the Nebraska-South Dakota State game.
"I felt like I could call the game better," Beck said. "There was never a 'where's the next play coming?' or 'try to keep them off balance.' We kept them off balance. Running, throwing, two-back, one-back, empty at times, three-back. We still did multiple stuff. You could see it bothering them."
Still, he needed Armstrong and Kellogg to execute the plan. And neither in his collegiate career had more extensive playing time than both did Saturday. Armstrong completed 12 of 15 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown. Kellogg hit 8 of 9 for 136 and a score. Armstrong also ran for 38 yards, executing the zone read and option plays with skill.
"Me coming out and making the coaches happy — being able to come out here and do my thing because Taylor couldn't play — I think I did a real good job," Armstrong said.
"He's just a gamer," Beck said of Armstrong, a redshirt freshman from Cibolo, Texas. "He thrives in situations like this. He played extremely well, as did Ronnie. They've been playing well for the last year and a half."
Whether Armstrong or Kellogg or both are needed for the Big Ten opener against Illinois Oct. 5 depends on Martinez's turf toe injury on his left foot. Turf toe can be difficult to shake.
"I want him to be 100 percent when he comes back," Pelini said. "He's a lot better. He's feeling better. But that's going to be up to how he progresses over the next few days and what the doctors and trainers tell me."
Either way, NU's offense enters a bye week having found a rhythm, Beck said. Based on Pelini's comments, the defense will spend its off week looking to patch the leaks at every level.
"I bet you coaches across the country are saying the same thing I am," Pelini said. "I don't know if they say it in public the way I do. At the end of the day, we've got a lot of work to do. All you can do is roll up your sleeves, go to work and try to make each day better."
Preferably without the drama that accompanied last week.

What happens after treatment for Castleman disease?
What`s new in research and treatment of Castleman disease?
Research into the causes and treatment of Castleman disease (CD) is being done in many medical centers throughout the world. Unfortunately, research into this disease is slowed by the fact that CD is so rare. Still, researchers have begun to study several promising new drugs in recent years for use against CD.
Many patients with multicentric CD have high levels of a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6). Drugs against IL-6 have been developed and are being tested in CD. One of these drugs, tocilizumab (Actemra®), is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the action of IL-6 by binding to its receptor on lymphocytes. This drug is approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis in the United States, but some doctors may use it to treat CD as well.
Another monoclonal antibody, siltuximab, targets IL-6 itself. This drug has shown very promising results in an early study against CD, but it is only available through clinical trials at this time.
It is unclear how helpful these drugs may be in CD patients who are HIV-positive, since few HIV-positive patients have been in the studies so far. Still, these drugs may offer the best hope for the future treatment of CD.
Other drugs being studied for treatment of CD include:
- Sirolimus (Rapamune®): This drug suppresses the immune system by keeping lymphocytes in check. It is often used to help prevent the rejection of organ transplants, but it may also be helpful in CD.
- Suramin: This drug is thought to work by stopping IL-6 from attaching to and affecting lymphocytes.
- CX-4945: This drug blocks CK2, a protein that helps some cells grow and divide. It is still in the earliest phases of testing.

What is your incoming water temp in the winter, what is the hardness of your water, what is the max. temperature rise of the units, will you have enough gas flow to the unit with your existing piping, where are you venting it.
Hi ,
I finally decided to replace the water heater I have with a tankless one. After some research, I narrowed the choices down to two "finalists": Takagi and Rinnai tankless water heaters. Rinnai seems to have some advantages, among them higher output (8.3gpm vs. Takagi's 6.9gmp) and, most important, lower kick-off flow (0.5gpm vs. Takagi's 0.75gmp). On the other hand Takagi seems more spread than Rinnai and also I could find a lot of information for Takagi and almost none for Rinnai.
Need some advice from people who are using these water heaters.
What is your incoming water temp in the winter, what is the hardness of your water, what is the max. temperature rise of the units, will you have enough gas flow to the unit with your existing piping, where are you venting it.
At what temperature rise are those gpm numbers spec'd? Huge difference if it is at 40º or 90º. Also, do you know what it will cost you to install the required large gas supply pipe, and the new larger STAINLESS STEEL flue.?
Or even the same sized stainless steel flue. If you are going to do it yourself, you may have to scratch the Rinnai, because they are only supposed to be sold to certified installers.
Seems like the idea of tankless water heaters comes up about 2 or 3 times every month. It sounds great doesn't it. Just heat water when you need it and don't pay to keep a tank of water hot when it's not needed. A really money saver! Wow, it's about time! Only thing is, after all is said and done, these things cost more to own and operate than conventional water heaters over a period of time. Here are some of the pitfalls. High initial cost of the unit; high installation costs, including larger gas or electric service; frequent repairman calls to clean the innards and keep the thing operating, if you can find a repairman; limited hot water output in cold weather; high operation cost; and finally, they don't last forever and when replacement is needed, the circle of life begins again.
Excellent information (and videos) are available at http://www.tanklessuniversity.com
It's a Bosch site. "Ed Sullivan" has a hysterical New England accent.
its funny how you hear more and more about people
wanting the tankless units and the people
who complain about them after they own them
over time it simply has to fail
its just a matter of when. and how soon......
just like the last thread where the 2 year old Takagi went down and
the home owner jury rigged up his own repairs for it.....
going green is a fad that should not spread to things as complicated and
expensive as these are
I just had a homeowner
today calling about the tankless units at about 12.30,
but before I could get back to him -- having a Friday power lunch---
he had gone to LOWES and now is
hell-bent hooked on a Bosch....
took the bait ....hook, line and sinker......
I wont be able to talk him out of it no matter what I try to tell him....
Hell, I just do this for a living,,
the guy at LOWES is the expert.

In a situation where a tankless heater can be mounted on an outside wall, near the gas meter as well as the fixtures served, where the winter climate is mild and the water is of good quality, then a tankless heater makes sense, especially for a guest or vacation house that's often vacant. Here's a site that has a lot of information:
I'm curious if this technology is just a fad that it only" here in America do we know how to heat water". yet the systems have been used and PROVEN to work for over seventy years!. But what do those yurupeans know, why this is the land we can can make a car last as long as the payments before things start to fail. Maybe the failures we have over here are ignorant installers putting it in the way [I]they [I] think it should be installed instead of how it was designed to be by the manufacturer.
If it's a problem with the water then it's a problem for everything regardless the technology.
"green" is not a fad, it's a social responsibility to make things operate as efficiently as possible [I]always[I]. The "good enough" attitude is partially the reason why we're paying $110/barrel for oil now. They know we need it.
Just my opinion from a little piece of suburban heaven.
When they can get the price down to about
the cost of what a normal water heater costs
then I will get one even though the install costs
will still be higher...
then you might break even in 10 years or so
I am still haggleing with supply houses for a
decent deal on a tankless heater right now
to keep going with my own little experiment
here is a pic of my "green tankless heater"
the unit was installed in 1910 ..the reason
the tank type heaters took over in the 20s and 30 was the fact that
these were too complicated and too much touble even back then
and people were constantly blowing them up..
they thought that they had made a giant leap forward
when the first tank type heaters came out with
the internal thermostats...getting away from all these
high pressure issues and valves that had to be manually
controlled to get hot water..
I believe that this was called a "side arm" heater..

If you want green, go solar. I'm in a good part of the country (Florida), at a mediocre time of year (a week past the equinox) with a poorly oriented and shaded (by a neighbor's oak tree) collector, but at 6PM yesterday I had 80 gallons of 150 degree water in the tank after a normal day's usage. I installed the system a little over a year ago, in the dead of winter, and inadvertantly left the circuit breaker for the water heater (backup electric heating) off. It was about 3 weeks before we noticed the water cooling off. I won't know the true cost until the tank eventually fails, but the net outlay was about $3000 for the professionally installed system, and I only had to redo a small part of it. DIY kits are available for about $2200; more (~$5000) for a "hard freeze" area.
My main concern now is -- how hot will it get, after a full day in the summer sun?
Tankless heaters are def more complex than traditional heaters, will require regular maintenance, and are more expensive to install, but they probably won't cause the problem that I am now fixing: water damage caused by a leaking water heater.
The heater before this unit must have leaked as well, because the whole structure underneath is rotted beyond repair. Complete replacement of all joists and subfloor. Insects in Texas love moist wood. Need I say more?
In my application (just a washing machine, kitchen sink, and dishwasher) tankless (Bosch 1600) will suffice. Cost only $300 after uncle sam chimed in.
I'm willing to give it a chance.
do you have a system with some sort
of antifreeze in it that will not boil???
if you are useing a water type drain down system
those puppies can literally boil the water in no time...
if the recirulaitoin pump were to fail
On our summer vacatioin in florida last summer it was 98 degrees at disney land for the whole week....
(it made the battan death march look like childs play)
really all you need to do in Florida is put about 2500 feet of
3/4 wirsbo pex in your attic feeding your hot water heater
and I can guarantee that you would probably never run out of hot water.....
IMO the best means of on-demand tankless water heating is via a dedicated domestic coil in a heating boiler. Absent that, get a properly sized high-efficiency tank from BW and call it a day.
